12、o do that. But as they say, love is blind. After meeting her, they decided to adopt Tabby!If Tabbys story had simply ended with her successful adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed but it was what happened after her adoption that some might label as magical or perhaps even

13、 miraculous. As Gary and Tabby did everything together, they became so in tune with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Garys seizures (疾病发作) before they occurred, giving his family a warning that one was about to strike. Whats more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabb

14、ys arrival.How could it be? There are some things that happen in this world that challenge all logic and understanding.

18、题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“Tabby was one of the many homeless dogs. Whats more, she was blind and deaf.(Tabby是许多无家可归的狗之一。而且，她又瞎又聋)”可知，Tabby是一只无家可归的狗，并且看不见、听不到。故选D。【5题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段的“If Tabbys story had simply ended with her successful adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed but it w

19、as what happened after her adoption that some might label as magical or perhaps even miraculous.(如果Tabby的故事仅仅以她成功的被收养而告终，那将仍然是一件非常特别的事情，但正是在她被收养后发生的事情，一些人可能会将其贴上“神奇”甚至miraculous标签)”可知，句中even表示语气的加强，结合上文的magical一词可推断出miraculous为“神奇的，不可思议的”，与amazing同义。故选A。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“As Gary and Tabby did everyt

21、至于Tabby开始在它们发生之前给加里的癫痫发作发电报，给他的家人一个警告，说有癫痫会发生。更重要的是，自从Tabby来后，加里的癫痫发作似乎越来越少了)”可知，Tabby能预知癫痫的发作。故选C。【7题详解】主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者工作的动物收容所里有一条又盲又瞎的流浪狗，最终得到了一个善良小男孩的收养。开启了一人一狗的生活后，小男孩的癫痫病也得到了神奇的控制。结合第二段的“Love is blind (爱是盲目的)”和最后一段的“Sometimes, the best that we can do is to accept a miraculous thing, which we did

22、nt attempt to explain.(有时候，我们能做的最好的事情就是接受一件我们没有试图解释的奇迹)”可知，正因为爱是盲目的，Tabby才能被接纳和收养，同时它也积极地改善了小男孩的身体情况，这是神奇的一件事情，Tabby也是一条神奇的狗。故D项“爱是盲目的：一条神奇的狗”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A。CBottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planets heal

23、th, and peoples health may be suffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York Cit

24、y-based action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottlesometimes more clean, sometimes not.”It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content

25、(含量) of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesnt have fluoride (氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Stori

26、ng is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals (化学物质) into the water.According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down

27、.In terms of energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Ea

28、rth, you can take the following steps. Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine. Get a container (容器). Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container, and clean it between uses. Keep it cool. Dont drink from a bottle that has been sitting in th

Drinking tap water is the only choice for people.B. Glass containers are better than plastic bottles.C. Plastic bot

30、tles are harmful to the environment.D. Bottled water may not be as good as we think.9. What can we learn about plastic bottles from the article?A. They break down in less than 300 years.B. They can be used for many other things.C. They are a risk to the environment.D. They are cheap to make.10. Acco

31、rding to the article, we can know that bottled water is _.A. no problem for the environmentB. more expensive than tap waterC. always safer than tap waterD. better for babies11. Which of the following about tap water is NOT mentioned in the article?A. There are a lot of problems storing tap water.B.

A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了瓶装水在给我们来了方便的同时，也给我们健康和地球的环境带来了许多的问题。并提出了一些保护环境的解决方法。【8题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段But some say the planets health, and peoples health may be sufferin

33、g from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water.可知，但也有人说，地球的健康，以及人们的健康可能因瓶装水而受到影响。瓶装水对人类更安全的观点可能不是真的。没有证据证明瓶装水比自来水好。所以文章主要讲述瓶装水所给地球带来的各种环境上的问题，瓶装水并非我们所想象得那么的好。故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第五段According to the Environmental

34、 Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down.可知，根据美国环境保护署(Environmental Protection Agency)的数据，全球每年约有270万吨塑料用于瓶装水。塑料需要400到1000年的时间才能分解。所以塑料瓶对环境有害。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第六段中In terms of e

35、nergy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap.可知瓶装水不便宜。所以根据这篇文章，我们可以知道瓶装水比自来水贵。故选B。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段 Storing is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals (化学物质) into the water.可知，瓶装水存储是另一个问题。把这些塑料瓶放在靠近热源的地方，会产生有害的化学物质进入水中。由此可知，短文说的是瓶装水存储是另一个问题，而没有提及自来水的储存问题。故选

36、A。DMost adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age

37、 groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of

38、 success is uncertain).The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known

39、 or unknown risks of choices. In the known risk condition, people always knew the exact chance of winning more money, from as low as 13% to as high as 75%. In the unknown risk condition, researchers did not reveal the exact chances of winning.What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It

40、 turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were knownmore careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks w

41、ere unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.The research, published in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on tr

42、ying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.12. The two kinds of games differed in whether_.A. the risks were willing takenB. the chances of winning were clearC. the participan

43、ts could be carefulD. the choices they can make are enough13. When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be _.A. ambitiousB. anxiousC. curiousD. cautious14. Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?A. College studentsB. Teenage participantC. Parent-aged studentsD. Grandparen

44、t-aged adults15. According to the study, parents should _.A. set age limits on dangerous activitiesB. encourage children to be conservativeC. help teens know more about risksD. allow teens to make their own decisions【1215题答案】【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了科学家们做了一个实验，比较了在已知风险和未知风险下各

45、个年龄组的反应和选择。研究发现当面对已知的风险时，青少年倾向于谨慎，同时在面对未知风险时，青少年也更有可能冒险。这项研究表明，父母应该集中精力引导青少年更多地了解风险的影响。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning

46、is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).（在实验中，研究人员试图区分两种截然不同的冒险行为。第一种称为愿意承担已知风险（当获胜的可能性很明显时），第二种称为愿意承担未知风险（当成功的可能性不确定时）”可知，两组实验的区别是获胜是否明显。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的“It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant

47、when risks were knownmore careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults.（结果表明，一般的青少年在知道风险时非常犹豫比大学生或父母年龄的成年人更谨慎，和祖父母年龄的成年人一样谨慎）”可知，当面对已知的风险时，青少年倾向于谨慎。故选D。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often t

48、han other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.(只有在风险不清楚的情况下，青少年才会比其他群体更频繁地选择它们。在这些条件下，他们比其他任何一组都更愿意冒险)”可知，研究中的青少年组更有可能冒未知的风险。故选B。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“The research, published in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest

49、s that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.(这项发表在美国国家科学院院刊上的研究表明，成年人可能应该把更多的精力放在教育青少年认识风险上，而不是限制风险。了解与决策相关的风险的青少年在行为上更可能谨慎

50、。)”可知，根据这项研究，父母应该集中精力引导青少年更多地了解风险的影响。故选C。第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Nowadays people will say that being an artist should be a temporary dream, something only a select few can do. _16_ It isnt just a painting or a song, but an expression of emotion that cannot be felt through just words themselves.A craft

51、of imagination can be more important than a craft of knowledge, and it is absolutely possible for the two to be combined. A piece of work isnt just something created without discipline or training. _17_. An artist needs to learn how to complete the basics like a master before they can add in their o

52、wn emotions and change the painting to be their own._18_ This is a great quote for all artists in the sense that each piece of art is different, but inspirations are shared. Students are taught the same thing over and over again, which is good. However, by teaching them to accept new ways of finding

53、 solutions or solving their issues, _19_.There are schools who want to take out the different forms of art found in public schools. _20_. Every person needs a way to allow them to release stress in a healthy way, a way that can be shared with others or kept to themselves. If art, music is taken out

54、of the school systems, then how are students supposed to learn about alternative ways to express themselves?A. a students horizon can be expanded .B. “Art is theft” was said by Pablo Picasso.C. students can express themselves well in speech classesD. Obviously, they are not fully aware about what ar

55、t means.E. It is the emotion as well as the training within the painting.F. Unfortunately, this can hurt a student more than help them.G. Thus, the importance of art education can never be too emphasized.【1620题答案】【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. F【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了艺术是情感的表达。每一件艺术作品是不同的，但是灵感是可以共享的。艺术

56、让学生扩大视野。【16题详解】选项D意思为：显然，他们并没有完全意识到艺术的意义。空后一句提到“这不仅仅是一幅画或一首歌，而且是一种情感的表达，而这种情感不能仅仅通过文字来表达。”该句是对选项D中“what art means”的解释。故选D项。【17题详解】此题线索是代词指代。选项E意思为：在绘画艺术中既有训练也有情感。选项E中 it指代空前一句中的A piece of work；空后下文的“their own emotions”与选项E中的emotion是词汇复现。故选E项。【18题详解】选项B意思为：巴勃罗毕加索说过，艺术就是偷窃。空后一句中“This is a great quote”

57、，quote即是指代巴勃罗毕加索所说的话。故选B项。【19题详解】选项A意思为：可以扩大学生的视野。空前一句的however表示转折关系，选项A与上文的“Students are taught the same thing over and over again”是相对的。故选A项。【20题详解】选项F意思为：不幸的是，这对学生的伤害大于帮助。下文提到“如果艺术、音乐被排除在学校体系之外，那么学生们又该如何学习其他表达自我的方式呢？”是对选项F的进一步解释。故选F项。第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）It was 10:15 p.m. wh
